This remarkable Cattleya was sent to Kew from Bahia, by C. H. Williams E'^q., m 

 1S63. In aspect it much resembles a Brasavola, but it is nevertheless a true Caf^ki/a. 

 The flowers, of which there are rarely more than one on a stem, are produced m the 

 autumn, and last a long time. It requires the utmost heat of the Cattleya-huuse, in 

 ^vhich it soon forms a neat compact bush.
